exploitation in government reservation other than mineral reservation;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, in accordance with Executive Order No. 245 and Presidential
Decree No. 463, Boma Mining Exploration Company applied for and was
duly granted, first a Prospecting Permit by the Bureau of Forest
Development and subsequently, an Exploration Permit by the Bureau of
Mines, over a certain parcel of the Central Cordillera Forest Reserve;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, various investigation, exploration works and feasibility
studies caused to be undertaken by applicant Boma Mining Exploration

which it has been reserved, and that the copper deposit therein could
be commercially exploited;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

hereby award the development, exploitation and utilization of the
